Diorama Box Card

Hello, crafty friends!!!

Today, I am sharing a tutorial on how to make a diorama box card.


You will need (2) 4 1/4” x 7 5/16” panels
***don’t be scared, the 5/16 mark is the little line next to the 1/4 mark :)

Score and fold at 1 1/2” and 7”


Cut at an angle on the 5/16” flap 
(as shown below)


Use Pretty Pink Posh large panel
from the Stitched Notes Die
to make a window


For the inserts (grass), the length
is 6 1/2” - scored at fold at 1/2” and 6” 


The height of the inserts will 
vary on how high
you want to place
your stamped elements. 
To assemble:

1. place a strip of scor tape
on the 5/16” flaps

2. Tape one of the flaps onto the 
other panel so that it creates one
long piece, as shown below


3. I recommend working on the background 
first before putting the box together. 
The background is an A2 panel, 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

4. Adhere the background and adhere one side of the 
inserts before closing the box completely. It is 
the same method used when building the Lawn Fawn
scalloped box card. Here is their tutorial.


5. Complete the box
by taping the other 5/16 flap onto the other panel's 
1 1/2 flap, forming a box

Here is my completed diorama box card:




I love that it folds flat and fits inside an A7 envelope for mailing. The dimension of the card when folded is 4 1/4 x 7". The stamps used for this graduation card are: Woodland Critters, Bunny Friends, and Congrats Grad. 

Here is another version of the box card:


This time, I only used one panel that measures 4 1/4 x 7" and the 2 (grassy) inserts.




I hope you have enjoyed today's tutorial and you are inspired to make a diorama box card. It's easy to assemble and you don't need to buy new dies. You can use whatever shape you have for the window, but I love the PPP Stitched Notes Die as it leaves stitched marks along the window. 

Until next time!

Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration

  Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration Blog Hop! Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies! For this fun collaboration, I made a slimline birthday card. To begin, I stamped, colored, and cut images from Gerda Steiner Designs - On the Table , On the Bookshelf and the new Heffy Doodle Popping By stamp set. I then cut the largest rectangle from the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slimline Trio Dies in white cardstock. For my table, I used the Ain't So Plaid Stencil and inked with Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides. The top portion is ink blended with Tattered Rose and I splattered some black and rose gold acrylic paint for interest. I then white heat embossed the happy birthday sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock. Next, I adhered the elements down onto the card. Lastly, I adhered my panel onto a slimline card base.

Merriest Christmas Wishes - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello friends. I'm here to show you a super easy Christmas shaker card made possible by the new Pretty Pink Posh Tree Cover Plate . I get really excited when I can whip up a card in just a few minutes. Let's get started! First, I cut the Tree Cover Plate from light pink cardstock and glued a sheet of clear acetate on the back. I added foam tape all around the edges and in the spaces between the trees. Then, I sprinkled in some Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads . After that, I peeled off the backing of the foam tape and glued on a patterned paper that's A2-sized. For the words, I used white heat embossed with a saying from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set on red cardstock. Then, I cut it out with a die from the Sentiment Strip Dies and gave it some extra pop by mounting it with foam. To make things extra special, I added Metallic Gold Pearls here and there for a touch of sparkle. I'm just thrilled with how quickly this card came together. I hope it gets your cre...

Thankful For You - Pretty Pink Posh

Hey crafty pals!  I have a cool box card to share. I had this idea of fitting the PPP mug into the Scallop Box Card , and guess what? It totally worked, and I'm beyond thrilled! So, let's dive into the nitty-gritty. I grabbed some Sage green cardstock and cut out the box card. I assembled the box and added in three inserts and jazzed things up with dies from the Fall Cornucopia and Fall Mug Additions Dies. I used Spellbinders cardstock for all those awesome dies. How adorable is that little fox peeking out of the mug, by the way? And speaking of the mug, I added a sweet design using the Deco Leaves Stencil and some Glacier White Ranges Pigment Ink . Now, here comes the fun part. I used the Fall Mug Additions Dies and Fall Cornucopia Dies to cut out various shapes in different cardstock colors. I glued these on the inserts, creating the cutest autumn scene you ever did see. Next up, I used hot foil to make the Thankful Script shine, cut it with the Thankful Shadow Die, and ...
